I didn't start listening to lyrics until I was in my mid twenties and I have no musical talent or education. When I heard The Beatles Imagine was banned in some places, I thought, "Why? It's just a song." And then years later I actua

I just showed it to my grandmother and she said she has some of them and they do work. If two out of two experts in the field have devices like this, the USPTO is apparently as bad at evaluating sewing inventions as it is at evaluating sof

All the farms and all the water on both sides of the dividing line deteriorate in quality. If the detrimental effects were the result of the redistribution of land, then we should see a disproportionate decline in the green farms on the ri

In the end, this was a good move from Google, Apple, and Microsoft if they want to kill off FireFox. Why do any of those three want FF to survive? They're rich, they got money. They want to dominate the browser market. FF is all of their

When is lying not bad? White lies? When they "protect" someone? Is an inability to receive honesty something we want to protect?

Why aren't there laws against lying? Why isn't this fraud or false advertising? Why are people able to lie to sell? What would the world be like if lying was a criminal act without an oath required? Why is it okay to lie outside the cou
